I don't know if I'm just doing it wrong, but all I simply want to do is use the demo's default config and just make my own database fields. I also want to use the auto-insert 'userid' feature as well. The problem is if I add more fields than the demo has, it seems to want to put the userid in another field and leave the user field blank once I add the record. I have a comments box before the user field and when i add the record, it puts the userid in the comments field and leaves the user field blank. What am i doing wrong?

In your default.cfg

change this line to equal the field number where your id is now:

$auth_user_field = 1;

Also keep in mind that if you add any new fields to your cfg file you have to fix your records that you already have, or they'll come out in the wrong place.
